Speaking during the meeting, Solanki said Delhi’s villages have had immense contribution in the nation’s culture and history, adding that the previous generations from this region had fought foreign invaders and also participated in the freedom struggle.
“The ruling dispensation in Delhi did not think of including a single representative from the 360 villages for the Rajya Sabha nomination. The party will face the consequences of its action in the upcoming polls,” he said.
The khap leader added that the rural belt has given several councilors and MLAs to the party.
